I don't recall the grape flavor either, but then when my mom could get Tang for me at the store it was usually orange. I liked it myself.

I remember the grape flavor. As I recall, it tasted very "artificial" -- more so than even the orange flavor -- and didn't last long at our supermarkets.
Looks like it's still available, though: https://www.amazon.com/Tang-Drink-Gr.../dp/B001FA1KQC |

The creepiest aspect was the incest one, if the Robinsons were to establish a space colony. Yuck. |

I think the idea was that other colonists would join them. Of course things didn't go to plan as they became lost in space.

I loved the Super Ball, though it was easy to lose if you bounced it over your house. The name of the NFL championship, The Super Bowl, was inspired by it.
Wham-O also made the Frisbee, the Hula-Hoop, Silly String, and the Slip 'N' Slide. |

They had a lot of neat, yet inexpensive, toys for kids! I bet the frisbees we owned got more play time than most of the other toys combined. We played with frisbees well into our 20s. I think we tried the slip-n-slide once or twice, but it wasn't as much fun as we thought it would be. The hula hoop was difficult to master, even for a child. But we had fun trying.

I seem to remember you had to be very careful to not have any sticks/twigs or other sharp things under the make-shift slip-n-slide or you'd hurt yourself. |
